weve got like 28 accounts. We are getting a trailer and another machine so we can get MORE MORE MORE!!!


I have an exmark and my partner is looking into a scag.

Awesome man lazers are the best. 28 clients is good for just starting off, are you guys strictly mowing or are you doing actual landscape work.

Thats too long to be a good name. The name has to be short, catchy, and it has to stick in your memory.

Did you consider installing sprinkler systems? I wanna put one in my yard, i already rigged up a super ghetto one and i'm planning to make a good system this summer. It will prolly end up costing me like $100 to have my whole backyard and a little garden segment well irrigated. The parts aren't that expensive, mostly PCV, fittings, and the sprinkers (which aren't too expensive) and maybe some solenoids and other control type stuff. The hard part is planning the system to water everything without too much overspray as well as installation.

I'm not using an solenoids or valves in my system. Its gonna be kind of ghetto. To turn it on and off i'm gonna turn the valve for the water on and i'm gonna hook up a garden hose to the PCV pipe thats gonna stick out of the ground. There is no way im gonna spend anywhere near 1k on a sprinkler system.

thats cool pete maybe you should look for a used lazer to get the business moving and then get new ones. My old boss had about 15 lazers some brand new some 5 years old. It you keep them well maintained they will last forever. Some of the older ones had like 6000 hours on them.
